Sophie Hyde is an Australian film director, writer, and producer based in Adelaide, South Australia. She is co-founder of Closer Productions and known for her award-winning debut fiction film, 52 Tuesdays (2013) and the comedy drama Animals (2019). She has also made several documentaries, including Life in Movement (2011), a documentary about dancer and choreographer Tanja Liedtke, and television series, such as The Hunting (2019). Her latest film, Good Luck to You, Leo Grande, premiered at the Sundance Festival in 2022. Her upcoming film Jimpa stars Olivia Colman and John Lithgow.

Early life and education[edit]

As a teenager in Adelaide, Hyde learnt acting skills at the Unley Youth Theatre (later Urban Myth), where she met some of her future colleagues. She later studied film theatre at Flinders University in Adelaide and followed up at La Trobe University in Melbourne, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in 1998.[1][2][3]

Work[edit]

2000s[edit]

In 2005, Hyde returned to Adelaide with funding to make a film about women's toilets. Later that year, she reconnected with a college acquaintance, editor and cinematographer Bryan Mason. They began a personal and professional relationship, forming a film company, Closer Productions. As of 2018, they reside in Malvern with their child, Audrey.[1][2]

2010s[edit]

Hyde and Mason started making videos for nightclubs and dance shows, then moved to documentary films. After becoming friends with choreographer and dancer Tanja Liedtke, they started making a documentary about her. After the dancer's untimely death in a traffic accident in Sydney in 2007, they completed the film and named it Life in Movement, which was named best work at the 2011 Ruby Awards for the arts, won the 2011 Foxtel Australian Documentary Prize[4] and won AACTA nominations for direction and for best feature documentary.[5][1]

Hyde completed her first feature film as director, co-writer and co-producer, 52 Tuesdays, filmed in Adelaide in 2013, then spent a year promoting it.[1] This film earned many accolades, including World Cinema Dramatic Directing Award for Hyde at Sundance in 2014[2] and a Crystal Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival.[4]

Hyde's next project was a six-part TV series called Fucking Adelaide (aka F*!#ing Adelaide), commissioned by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and Screen Australia, aired on national TV from 15 July 2018 and ABC iview[6] after debuting at the Adelaide Film Festival in 2017. A dark comedy about "home, family, identity and the 'small town-ness' of Adelaide", each episode was a part of a story told from a different character’s perspective, including a character played by Hyde's child Audrey and also starring Tilda Cobham-Hervey, Brendan Maclean and Kate Box as three siblings who respond to their mother's (played by Pamela Rabe) request to return to the family home in Adelaide.[7][1] Hyde has said that "It’s about the beautiful side of family, but also the negative side of being around people who feel like they know you, but perhaps don't allow you to change."; also that it reflects her love of Adelaide, which is greater once one has been away. The title started out as a joke, reflecting how Hyde felt about returning to Adelaide after being away — "both comforting and claustrophobic".[3] Co-written by Matthew Cormack and Matt Vesely and produced by Rebecca Summerton,[7] it was in competition at the Series Mania International Festival in France2018,[4] and screened in Berlin.[3]

In 2018 Hyde made Animals, based on the novel of the same name by Emma Jane Unsworth, in Dublin. This was her first feature film shot abroad, and was screened in the Premieres category at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival and as an Adelaide Film Festival "pop-up" event in April 2019.[4][8] It was an Irish-Australian co-production and although not initiated by Hyde, it was a Closer Productions film.[9]

In January 2019 it was announced that a drama mini-series called The Hunting would be screened later in the year on SBS TV, produced and directed by Hyde and starring Richard Roxburgh, Asher Keddie, Pamela Rabe, Sam Reid, Jessica De Gouw, Elena Carapetis and Sachin Joab.[10]

In My Blood It Runs (2019), directed by Gayby Baby director Maya Newell, produced by Hyde, Rachel Nanninaaq Edwardson, Larissa Behrendt and Newell and made in collaboration with Arrernte and Garrwa people in the Northern Territory, had its world premiere at the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival in Toronto in April/May 2019.[11]

2020s[edit]

Starting to work as an international freelance director,[9] in 2021 Hyde directed the comedy film,[12] starring Emma Thompson, called Good Luck to You, Leo Grande. Written by Katy Brand,[13][14] the film was made by Genesius Pictures in the UK.[15] This is her first film in a long time as an independent director, without Closer Productions and with her not acting as producer as well.[9] It premiered at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival (an online rather than in-person event because of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States) on 23 January 2022.[9][16] It was released on Hulu in the US on 17 June 2022,[17] in UK cinemas on the same date,[18] and in Australian cinemas from 18 August 2022.[19][20][21]

In April 2022 Screen Australia announced funding for a number of projects, including Jimpa, described as "an inter-generational queer family drama", to be made by Hyde along with co-writer Matthew Cormack, producer Liam Heyen and executive producer Aud Mason-Hyde.[22] In May 2024 it was announced that Olivia Colman would be starring alongside John Lithgow in Jimpa, which is being filmed in South Australia, Amsterdam, and Helsinki.[23] The film also stars Hyde's child Aud Mason-Hyde, Daniel Henshall, Kate Box, Eamon Farren, Cody Fern, Tilda Cobham-Hervey, and Deborah Kennedy.[24][25] Sales for the film begin at the Marché du Film (Film Market) at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival.[26]

Hyde is slated to direct upcoming biopic An Ideal Wife, centring on the sexual awakening experienced by poet-author Constance Lloyd when she found out her husband Oscar Wilde was homosexual.[27]
